The Starting Rotation – 6/30/11
Today's Starting Rotation is brought to you by James O'Hara.
Yesterday's Big Story – 12th seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a relative unknown from France, upset Roger Federer at Wimbledon in 5 sets 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. It was an incredible upset considering that Federer had come into the match 178-0 when leading after two sets, as he was before Tsonga rallied back to win the match. Tsonga will advance to the semifinals where he will meet arguably an even tougher opponent in 2nd seeded Novak Djokovic.
Yesterday's Star- Jordan Zimmermann, pitcher, Washington Nationals: Zimmermann pitched a sterling eight innings giving up only one unearned run for his 11th straight quality start but still managed to earn the loss. During this streak he has lowered his ERA from 4.29 to 2.63 ranking him 5th among National League starters. His full line for the night was: 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, on 93 total pitches.
Stat of the Day- This entry is inspired by the Mets' offensive downpour in Detroit, where they scored 16 runs without a single home run to blowout the Tigers for the second straight game by a score of 16-9. There have been 20 major league games since 1990 in which a team has scored 16 runs without a HR. Most recently: 8/30/10 HOU vs. St. Louis.
Yesterday in Washington – Despite the aforementioned gem of a game pitched by Jordan Zimmermann the Nationals were on the wrong end of a sweep, losing to the Angels 1-0. The loss dropped them back under .500 with a mark of 40-41. The Nats now head home to D.C. to begin an eleven game homestand, where they boast a winning percentage of .629.
Today In Washington – Absolutely nothing as the Nationals have an off day along with every other sport.

Cable TVs going to the guys. Cable networks have figured out the perfect formula for attracting male viewers and the advertisers who want to reach them: Just create reality shows that celebrate gritty, manly, blue-color jobs.
Some experts refer to these new shows as testostero-reality and chances are youve seen at least one of them. Theres Deadliest Catch about fisherman off the coast of Alaska or Swamp Loggers about loggers in North Carolina.
What do these shows have in common? Millions of men actually watch them. Thats no small feat when you consider that TV generally draws 33 percent more female viewers than male! In fact, throughout history, ratings have shown that the only times more men watch TV is if theres news or sports on.
But nowadays, lots of men are making an exception to watch so-called tough guy shows about ice road truckers, professional exterminators, or pawn shop owners. Why?
Christo Doyle produces shows for the Discovery Channel. He says lots of men work in cubicles these days so watching these shows gives them a chance to escape and see what its like to work outdoors braving the elements, and risking their lives.
Doyle adds that many of these shows offer encouragement to men who may have lost a job, or who are feeling down on their luck. His thinking is that most guys sitting at home arent going to relate to men with perfect teeth and six-pack abs like the guys you see on The Bachelor. Instead, Doyle says most guys want to see other working-class guys who struggle each day to make ends meet. Simply put: Watching tough guy reality shows can make you feel like a real man.

Below are her remarks:
'Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
'I thank the gentleman for yielding and I want to acknowledge the exceptional leadership of Chairman Obey, of Chairman Murtha, and Chairman Skelton for putting together this important piece of legislation.
'Yesterday, we sent it. Congress passed this bill and yesterday we sent it to the President of the
'It is a bill that honors the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. Thank you, Chairmen Obey, Murtha, and Skelton.
'The President had a historic opportunity, an opportunity to take yes for an answer, because the bill contained what the President had proposed. The President proposed benchmarks, his very own benchmarks are contained in this bill.
'The Department of Defense has guidelines for readiness for our troops, their training, their equipment, and the time they can spend at home and overseas. They are in the bill, even with a waiver for the President, giving the President more latitude. The President said no.
'I had hoped that the President would see the light instead of turning a tin ear to the wishes of the American people and a blind eye to what is happening on the ground in
'The President says that progress is being made in
'In his statement on vetoing the bill, the President said that he has vetoed this bill because, in his words, 'It made no sense.' I repeat, the President said, 'it made no sense to tell the enemy when to start to plan withdrawing.' In criticizing these timelines, of course, the President is wrong.
'But when he was a candidate for President, it made sense to him to say to President Clinton: 'I think it's important for the President to lay out a timetable as to how long our troops will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.' Candidate Bush. This is on the war in Kosovo, where we did not lose one single American soldier. This from a President whose initiative has lost more than 3,000 Americans and countless Iraqis.
'Bipartisan Congressional majorities approved of using timelines for redeployment to instill urgency into benchmarks that have already again been endorsed by the President and the Iraqi leaders. They've agreed to this, except they reject them in this bill. A wide range of people have noted the value of timelines in persuading the Iraqis to make the political compromises needed to end the violence, including Secretary of Defense Gates, who said: 'The strong feelings expressed in the Congress about the timetable probably have had a positive impact in terms of communicating to the Iraqis that this is not an open-ended commitment.'
'The Congress will not support an open-ended commitment to a war without end. The President says he wants a blank check. The Congress will not give it to him.
'Next, the President said that Congress is substituting, our judgment for the judgments of the commanders in the field 6,000 miles away. Wrong again, Mr. President. We're substituting our judgment for your judgment 16 blocks down
'Next the President claimed, and Mr. Obey again referenced it, that this bill is loaded with non-emergency spending. Well, it may be a non-emergency to the President, but it certainly is an emergency to the people affected. Once again, the President is wrong. The needs of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina think it's an emergency, and so does any one person of conscience in our country who cares about the victims of Katrina. That millions of children are about to lose their health insurance is an emergency for them and for our country.
'Today, the President faces the consequences of his own making. This is the seventh supplemental for the war in
'The President claims that this legislation 'infringes upon the powers vested in the Presidency by the Constitution.' The President is wrong. Congress is exercising its right as a co-equal branch of government to work cooperatively with the President to end this war.
'By voting yes to override, Congress sends a strong message supporting our troops. They have done everything that has been asked of them and excellently. They deserve better. To rebuild our military, which has been seriously strained by this war in
'Passage of this bill then can refocus our energy on efforts against terrorism by bringing the war in
'The war on terrorism was in
'Now, we are into the fifth year of a failed policy. This Administration should get a clue. It's not working. This is the fourth surge they have proposed. When they proposed it in January, they said, 'In 60 to 90 days, we will know.' It's 120 days and now they're saying September. And then they say maybe by the end of the year. So what is this? We will be into another whole year of this war, far longer than World War II.
'Nobody who serves in this body, who takes the oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution, needs anybody to tell them, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, what our responsibility is to protect the American people.
'Nobody needs a reminder of what the threat of terrorism is to our country. But we do need to work together to keep our focus on where the war on terror really is. If we clear up this matter, bring this war to an end in
'Let us stop this war without end. I urge a yes vote.
'Thank you, Mr. Speaker.'

|NYC Resources
|Office of the Mayor
Dear Fellow New Yorkers:
City streets are New York's basic circulatory system, serving huge numbers of daily foot, bus and auto trips, as well as facilitating the millions of large and small goods deliveries that keep our economy running. Our streets are also the conduits for the increasingly complex set of public utilities needed for daily life in the 21st Century – water, electricity, gas, steam and telecommunications of every kind.
At times these multiple functions conflict – nearly every New Yorker seems to have a story about a work crew digging up a freshly surfaced city street. Though better coordination of paving and sub-surface work seems elementary, it has been elusive owing to sheer scales of both our street system and the utility networks buried beneath them.
The New York City Street Works Manual represents a major step in solving this problem. The work by NYC DOT and the city's major utility companies to produce both the Manual and a series of agreements about data-sharing and consultation on work needs will go a long way to protect the public's investment in better street surfaces. New information applications will facilitate the coordination of vast and complex work schedules across the city.
In the same vein, the Manual also marks adoption of new, business-friendly technology improvements in NYC DOT's issuance of permits to contractors who need to undertake work in or under city streets. All-electronic permitting will save time and money for the utility and construction industries, while reducing costs and saving taxpayer dollars.
Transportation and good streets have always been keys to the improvement of the city's economy and daily life, which is why our Administration is a leader in infrastructure investment. While much of our country struggles to sustain basic upkeep, we have brought City-owned bridges to their best condition in a generation and expanded street resurfacing to a consistent 1,000 lane-miles per year. In just the last four years, NYC DOT has committed more than $4.3 billion in capital investments, an unprecedented effort in the Administration's commitment to bring the city's roads, bridges and sidewalks into a state of good repair.
The Street Works Manual will help us preserve and extend the benefits of this critical work, and facilitate investment by the utility industry in other systems that are equally critical to the people of New York City.

Sen. John McCain, the Republican from Arizona, was caught red-handed Tuesday by a Washington Post photographer, who snapped a picture of McCain playing a poker game on his iPhone during the lengthy Senate hearings over Syria.
The photograph, as they say about the Internet, went viral. Pundits with too much time on their hands had fun criticizing the senator for breaking one of the protocols of office-style decorum: Checking email during meetings is sometimes OK, but playing poker?
At least Sen. John McCain has a sense of humor about it.
Late Tuesday night, the senator took to Twitter.
"Scandal! Caught playing iPhone game at 3+ hour Senate hearing — worst of all I lost!" he tweeted.
The Post, milking this for all its worth, published a photo gallery Wednesday showing politicians in all sorts of boredom during meetings, rallies, speeches and public appearances. McCain, we note, was the only one shown playing a video game.
There was a photo of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asleep during the 2010 State of the Union address. And the photo of George H.W. Bush infamously peeking at his watch during a 1992 presidential debate. And a photo of Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid sleeping during a rally held for him in Jakarta in 2000. And a photo of former Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev snoring during a panel discussion at a 2012 summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Chicago.
Boredom escapes no one, apparently.
In London, The Guardian newspaper opined that "perhaps the Republican pro-interventionist, who was critical of the president for asking Congress for approval to strike Syria, was trying to make some clumsy metaphor about Obama's political gamble or the high stakes involved. Or maybe not."
The Atlantic mused that McCain's game might have been a stunt. "Whether what we saw on McCain's screen represents true boredom or a more strategic protest, it's a reminder nonetheless of how public, via our smartphones and other computers, our attention has become. Whether you're a U.S. senator or a plain old citizen, your attention is, in a way it never has been before, out on display. Your screen is a window to your soul — which is fine, until your soul gets bored and decides to play some poker."
To quote Alabama football coach Nick Saban, it is what it is.
McCain's white-collar faux pas is a minor indiscretion that's worthy of less than 15 minutes of fame. Should he have sought his next royal flush during a Senate hearing? No. But it wasn't, to steal the senator's words, a scandal.

SOURCE Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey
NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the NFL season closes with concussion again as a central issue facing the league, the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey (BIANJ), with funding from Partners For Health Foundation, has launched a new website to provide the most current information about concussions, the management of concussion, and making return-to-play decisions.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140129/NY55429LOGO )
Helpfully called SportsConcussion.com, the site is equipped with extensive resources, links and videos to help parents, coaches, athletic trainers, school nurses, teachers, advisors, physicians and athletes know the signs and symptoms of concussion and what to do if a concussion is suspected.
"All eyes will be on New Jersey for Super Bowl XLVIII, making it an ideal opportunity to spread the message that concussions are brain injuries and need to be taken seriously," states Barbara Geiger-Parker, BIANJ's President and CEO. "The need for parents and coaches to understand concussion and the roles of the various professionals who work in the field of concussion is essential."
The Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey has a lengthy history in educating the public on the importance of the identification, treatment, and management of sports concussions. In 2006 BIANJ held the Concussion in Youth Sports Summit at Giants Stadium, which brought together leaders of state and national organizations committed to the health and safety of today's youth. That set the wheels in motion for a statewide campaign to develop a law aimed at protecting New Jersey's student athletes. As a result, on December 2, 2010, Governor Christie established the New Jersey Concussion Law, which mandates that steps be taken to ensure the safety of student-athletes in New Jersey.
About the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey
Established in 1981, the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey (BIANJ) is a statewide nonprofit organization that services more than 10,000 individuals annually through its family support, advocacy, and education and prevention programs. Over the last 30 years, BIANJ has brought together people with brain injury, their families and friends, and concerned allied health professionals to improve the quality of life people experience after brain injury. For more information, please visit www.bianj.org.

Scott Wilson
(Actor -
The Walking Dead [Hershel Greene]; Dead Man Walking; Monster; In Cold Blood; The Last Samurai; CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; The X-Files; In the Heat of the Night
Actor Scott Wilson was born on March 29, 1942, in Atlanta, Georgia. Over his long career, Wilson has acted in nearly 50 films. Hes known for playing Harvey Oberst in the 1967 film In the Heat of the Night, and killer Dick Hickok in Richard Brookss 1967 film adaptation of Truman Capotes In Cold Blood. After numerous appearances as a character actor in television dramas, Wilson landed the role of zombie killer Dr. Hershel Greene on AMCs The Walking Dead.
Actor Scott Wilson was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 29, 1942, to parents Jewel and Thomas Wilson. He attended his first three years of high school in Atlanta, but graduated in 1960 from Thomasville High School when his mother moved the family to her hometown 200 miles south of Atlanta after the death of his father Thomas Wilson. Film Career
Wilson enrolled at Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Georgia, on an athletic scholarship, but left due to health issues. In 1961, when he was 19 years old, he impulsively hitchhiked to California and enrolled in acting classes there. Five years later, he was cast in the film In the Heat of the Night (1967), co-starring with Rod Steiger and Sidney Poitier. The movie won four Academy Awards, including for best picture.
Some say that his resemblance to the real-life killer led Wilson to win the role of Dick Hickok in Richard Brookss 1967 film adaptation of Truman Capotes In Cold Blood. Due to the films dark popularity, Wilson made the cover of LIFE magazine in 1967, along with co-star Robert Blake and author Capote, depicting the three men standing on a desolate stretch of highway in Kansas.
Other film credits include The Gypsy Moths (1969); The Great Gatsby (1974); The Ninth Configuration (1980), for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe; and The Right Stuff (1983). In 1984, Wilson tied with another actor for the best actor honor at the Cartagena Film Festival in Colombia for his work in On the Line. The actors later works include Dead Man Walking (1995), Pearl Harbor (2001), Monster (2003) and Junebug (2005).
Wilsons character acting won him guest spots on several television dramas, including The X-Files, The Twilight Zone and CSI. He portrayed Elviss father in the TV movie Elvis and the Colonel: The Untold Story in 1993, and a governor from Wyoming in The Jack Bull in 1999. In 2007, he played Reverend Potter on the TNT series Saving Grace.
Wilsons popularity soared, however, with his portrayal of Herschel Greene, a veterinarian, farmer and recovering alcoholic who helps his comrades survive after a zombie apocalypse, on AMCs The Walking Dead. He made his debut on the popular drama series in 2011, during its second season.

Don't look now, but Mike McCoy is doing it again.
After helping Jake Delhomme win 50-plus games, milking a playoff berth out of Tim Tebow and starting Peyton Manning's Denver journey, McCoy came to San Diego as head coach this offseason with a chance to get Philip Rivers back on track.
There is a long way to go in 2013, but the results have been almost all positive so far. Rivers completed 35-of-42 passes and threw for three TDs — one, a gorgeous, leaping toss to Antonio Gates — in a 30-21 win over the Cowboys. For the season, Rivers now has 11 touchdown passes to just two interceptions, a marked improvement over the 26-to-15 split he posted in 2012 or the 27-20 gap in '11.
The Chargers have lost headlines in the AFC West to unbeaten Denver and Kansas City, but they would be sitting 4-0 too, had a couple of plays fallen differently in Weeks 1 and 3.
Rivers was responsible for the worst of those moments of misfortune in the season-opening loss to Houston, his ill-timed pick-six swinging momentum for good in the Texans' favor. But he has been close to flawless since.
"We've had a lot of adversity, and a lot of close games," Rivers said Sunday, after the team moved to 2-2. "This is what we've talked about — finishing it."
BANKS: Seattle sends message to NFC; more Week 4 Snaps
Rivers still has two years left on his current contract, but this was considered a bit of a prove it-or-else sort of season. New coaches often like to start their roster makeovers by handpicking a QB.
The 31-year-old Rivers still looks to have plenty in the tank. And McCoy's work has squeezed an awful lot of production out of both Rivers and a depleted group of receivers over the first four weeks of 2013.
Plenty of obstacles remain in the way of San Diego's path to playoff contention — including two games each with the Chiefs and Broncos, and an occasional inability to close out wins. But the early returns on the Rivers-McCoy pairing have to have the franchise feeling content with its coaching hire.
• First Down: Adrian Peterson (and Matt Cassel).
Feeling stressed out at work? Need to clear your head? Take a trip!
Just such a plan may have worked for the formerly winless Vikings, who headed to London, switched quarterbacks and held on for a 34-27 win over the Steelers. The Vikings gave the Brits an up close-and-personal taste of Adrian Peterson, arguably the game's best player. Peterson scored twice, including on a 60-yard explosion.
Possibly even more noteworthy for Minnesota: Matt Cassel did yeoman's work in relief of Christian Ponder. The veteran QB threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions.
"What you think?" Peterson responded sarcastically when asked if Cassel should keep the starting gig for Week 5. "Matt played a heck of a game."
• Fourth Down: Matt Schaub's reputation.
Because he's the most visible player (and the one with the ball in his hands the majority of the time), the quarterback often takes an unfair amount of heat when his team loses. Schaub is no exception.
FARRAR: Seahawks rally; Texans fans burn Schaub's jersey
Was Houston's 23-20 overtime loss to Seattle all on his shoulders? No. But he threw a pick-six to allow the Seahawks to tie the game in the final three minutes, then followed up by taking multiple sacks late and in overtime. It's getting harder and harder to believe that Houston ever can be more than it has been — a division contender that fizzles in the playoffs — with Schaub at the helm.
• First Down: Ndamukong Suh.
One of the main reasons Suh is such a frustrating figure for folks is that when he plays well, without all the extracurriculars, he is among the league's better defensive players. Case in point: Sunday's much-anticipated showdown with Chicago and rookie guard Kyle Long.
Suh was an absolute menace up front, registering a pair of sacks and forcing a Jay Cutler fumble (which turned into a Nick Fairley touchdown). He also drew a critical holding penalty to negate a big gain through the air.
"There's been a lot of scrutiny over what has happened on the field with him over the last few years but that doesn't take away from the tremendous talent that he has," Long said afterward, per WXYZ's Tom Leyden. "He's a physical player, a nasty player. And I mean those words in a good way."
• Fourth Down: Andy Dalton, Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger.
The hottest quarterback in the AFC North is … Brian Hoyer?
Believe it. Hoyer's 2-0 after a two-TD, no-INT performance Sunday against Cincinnati. Dalton, Flacco and Roethlisberger, meanwhile, posted an 0-3 afternoon with a combined nine turnovers. Five of those are on Flacco, who failed to take advantage of a Buffalo secondary missing several key parts.
BURKE: Ravens looking for answers after loss to Bills
• First Down: Denver's current pace on offense.
The Broncos set a franchise record on Sunday with 52 points against a hapless Philadelphia defense. That performance moved Denver to 179 total points through four weeks of the season, putting Peyton Manning and Co. on pace to score 716 in 2013. The all-time record for most points in a season? 589.
• Fourth Down: The New York Giants.
It's easy to peg Jacksonville as the NFL's worst team, given its 0-4 start and minus-98 point differential. But the Jaguars' rankness might be slightly overshadowing the train wreck occurring in the Meadowlands.
Not only are the Giants now 0-4, but they're getting manhandled on a weekly basis. Their 31-7 loss in Kansas City on Sunday comes on the heels of a 38-0 setback in Carolina — that's 69-7 over the past two games, in case you're keeping score.
"Y'all have been around football longer than me. If y'all find some answers, let me know," Justin Tuck said post-Week 4, according to Newsday's Bob Glauber. "I'm willing to try anything."
• First Down: That Chiefs-Titans game in Week 5.
You had this one circled before the season, right? Probably not, but with the Chiefs and Titans sweeping the New York teams on Sunday, this sets up as a huge game in the AFC. Kansas City, at 4-0, sits tied with Denver atop the AFC West; Tennessee, 3-1, is deadlocked with Indianapolis in the AFC South.
The potential tipping point here: Jake Locker's hip injury, which figures to sideline the Tennessee QB for at least the next several weeks. Can Ryan Fitzpatrick get the job done in the meantime?
BANKS: Locker injury casts pall over Titans' surprising start
• Fourth Down: Maurice Jones-Drew.
It's hard to blame Jones-Drew for too much of the Jaguars' struggles, given the team's black hole at quarterback and myriad issues elsewhere. Jones-Drew has not done much to elevate the downtrodden team, though, which is what you'd hope a superstar player could do.
Jones-Drew also may not be doing himself any favors. He's set to be a free agent at the end of this season … and currently is on pace for 552 yards, not all that far past the 414 he tallied in six games last season.
• First Down: Kiko Alonso.
Introducing your frontrunner for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Alonso, the No. 46 overall pick in April, has done everything Buffalo could have hoped for and more so far in 2013. Sunday, in a win over the Ravens, Alonso picked off Joe Flacco twice, with his second INT — an athletic, diving play — sealing the game. Alonso's four interceptions are currently tied for the league lead.
• Fourth Down: Atlanta's red zone issues.
Six trips into the New England red zone for the Falcons Sunday night. One touchdown.
FARRAR: Falcons' woes continue in loss to Patriots
Granted, their run game is slightly neutered with Steven Jackson out of the lineup, but the Falcons' stockpile of weapons — Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez, Jacquizz Rodgers, Roddy White (healthy or not) — ought to be more dangerous near the goal line than it's been. Atlanta settled for three field goals after getting inside the New England 20, plus twice (most notably, on its final possession with a chance to tie) failed to get any points at all.
That's not McCoy. Tell the intern to post the right picture.
So Matt Schaub is the new Steve Deberg?
"Just good enough to get you beat." --Bill Walsh
BIG fourth down goes to the Dallas Cowboys who seem unable to string as little as two wins together. Shameful. Gutless. Heartless. That's the way the Cowboys have been since 2000 on.
Pretty sure that is Frank Reich up there, not Mike McCoy

I have this feeling that Vika and Gabby - and to a lesser extent, Aliya - haven't even peaked in terms of their ability (they way Gabby peaked competitively for London was ) and so I hope they're both in it for a few more years at least.
Still, Gabby might think differently in about a months time. Life is about to get crazy for her I'm sure.

Speaker: Professor John Gray
Chair: Dr Simon Glendinning
This event was recorded on 19 February 2011 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building
During the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century science became the vehicle for an assault on death. The power of knowledge was summoned to free humans of their mortality. Science was used against science and became a channel for faith. John Gray is most recently the acclaimed author of Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia, and Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after President Obama delivered a speech, "A Better Bargain for the Middle Class," at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois.
"Today, President Obama issued a clarion call to action on America's top priorities: to create jobs, grow our economy, and build a thriving middle class. His address focused on the cornerstones of middle class security – the urgent need for good jobs, a quality education, the ability to own a home, a secure retirement, affordable health care, and a living wage.
"House Democrats have already started to lay the groundwork for progress. We launched an economic agenda for women and families – 'When Women Succeed, America Succeeds' – to secure equal pay, increase access to child care, and expand family and medical leave. We put forward a budget that promotes growth and jobs, invests in innovation and infrastructure, and reduces the deficit. We set forth an agenda founded on the basic principle advanced by President Obama today: that our economy works best when we grow from the middle out, not the top down.
"Right now, our economy is growing and Americans are going back to work. But more must be done, and Americans deserve better than the Republicans' repeal-only agenda. It's time for Republicans to join Democrats in establishing a better bargain for the middle class, reigniting the American Dream, and building ladders of opportunity for all."

Blogger Brooke McLay from Cheeky Kitchen cooks two classics--chocolate chip cookies and brownies--into a single decadent cake…using the slow cooker!

Since slow cookers often cook differently, the first time you cook a cake in the slow cooker may take some trial and error to find the right amount of time to cook the cake to doneness. Start gently lifting the cover at about 2 hours, pressing the center of the cake lightly with your finger. If it doesn't spring back to the touch, replace the cover, and check every 15 minutes until done.
Baking spray with flour is like nonstick cooking spray, but with the addition of flour. When used in this recipe, it makes the slow cooker cleanup quick and simple!

Hungary has a unique position in the world of track. It's the only country in the world that was not under British rule at one time and yet conducted its early national championships at English distances, not metric.
The Hungarian national championships began in 1896, but it wasn't until 1915 that Hungary switched to the metric system for track races. (I don't know how field events were measured from 1896-1914.)
So here's the big question for which I've yet to find a definitive answer: Why? Why was non-Brit Hungary using yards and miles?
I figured this might be due to hereditary ties to the Court of St. James dating back to Queen Victoria. But the Austro-Hungarian Empire appears to have had no such ties. On the other hand, Victoria did have or produce 19th century hereditary ties to Denmark, Greece, and several principalities of Germany. But none of those countries ever ran English distances at their national championships.
So why Hungary???

You can purchase these rain pants if the pants that came with our rain suit were not a good fit or if you already have a rain jacket.
Please use a cloth tape measure to measure the circumference of your waist. Choose your size from the table below.
Rain Suit
Size Chart
Comment: These are really nice. I agree with a previous review that they are a bit long in the rise, but nothing that can't be dealt with. I love that they're PVC lined and cuffed at the bottom. The pocket is handy too. Caution: Believe what the sizing chart says. I'm a size 8 woman and have never taken an XS in my life. I couldn't believe that I actually needed one this time. I ordered a small. They're a bit too big! Nothing I can't work around, but if I had to do it over I'd get the XS.
Happy to Review
Comment: These are excellent rain pants for when you're out riding your motorcycle. They have zippers on the bottom as well as velcro, for a secure fit. Also, the big pocket on the outside is handy. The length of the pants were a bit longer than expected but, all in all, I am satisfied with the item. Especially at this price!
Central New Jersey
Comment: I had wanted a pair of rain pants that easily fit over my day clothes and these fit the bill perfectly. The only problem is that my shoes still get soaked. In addition to these pants I'd need to wear waterproof boots or waterproof shoes and socks (the cuffs are not long enough to sit in my shoes while my knees are bent). But for protecting my legs, these are great. They even come with a side pocket where I can put my keys, etc.
Timothy Mahrt
Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Comment: These rain pants were sent to me mistake when I ordered a pair of chaps. I liked them so well I kept them. The quality is outstanding for the price. I would reccomend them to anyone.
Kimberly Lane
Comment: These pants are great. They are well made, but i must warn you they do run large for women. I ordered the XS and the waist was big. More important, however, I inquired about the length because I have a 28 inch inseam and I certainly didn't want anything very long. The service rep went so far as to go into the warehouse, take the pants off a rack, and measured the inseam for me. Now that's customer service. The XS' length was about 31 or 32 inches. Even though it's long, it does cover my boots adequately. Plus it's wind resistant. Very good buy for the price
Fran Mayko
Comment: Been a rider for many years have had lots of rain gear, these by far are the best pants I have ever had. Good fit, look and feel like they should shed the dampness very well. Will let all of my riding buds know about them.
Upstate NY
Comment: Pants came *quickly*. Very satisfied. And they are way better than I thought they'd be - I just thought they'd be some 'marginally thicker than a garbage bag' emergency pants. They are heavy, good quality pants that I'd wear on a daily commute. Very impressed.
Craig Howard
Seattle, WA
Comment: Very satisfied. Good quality product. Fast shipping. I ordered it one morning and it arrived the next morning.
Bob Burchard
Savannah, GA
Comment: I had wanted something to wear over my day clothes when the weather is bad and these were perfect. They easily slip over my pants and keep them perfectly dry.
Tim Mahrt
Champaign, IL
Comment: Perfect!!! Shipped quickly
Goffstown, NH
Comment: Well, I ordered these wonderfull rubbery things, and unfortunately I was concerned about the size, having read all the other comments. Well, I went smaller than I normally would've, and oops....they will sorta fit, but not too sure over the old chaps. I should have gone with my original size. Now, when I find some time I'll have to return and hopefully get the size ( XL) which I should have done as per the waist size of 42-48. Oh well, live and learn. :-)
Campbell River B.C. Canada
Comment: purchased a pair of these pants for my wife, they are an excellent buy for the price, would recommend these to anyone who rides.
George Champoux
Comment: I was a bit septical at the onset and didn't want to spend alot of money but when the rain pants arrived I was taken aback with the quality and features. A far better rain pant then that I am replacing bought at HD for a quarter of the price!
Daytona Beach
Comment: I like that these pants come with a reinforcement in both the 'seat area' and the inside ankle area - close to the engine where it's very hot for nylon or other rain gear material. Very nice that they fit over boots, zip up and have the reflective velcro patch. Long enough as well that the legs don't creep up over your boots...these pants keep you completely dry. First rain pants I've had that covers everything. Very comfortable, too. Thanks so much for a great product, especially for the low price!
HD Sporty Lori
Comment: We were very glad to see such good quality with our new rainpants. Yes, they are sized larger than the typical size - but that works for these especially!
Great Product, shipping and price!
Bernie & Karen
Comment: I am very pleased with these rain pants and they are a great buy for the money.
Clewiston, Florida
Comment: Pants are good quality for the price. Easy to put on with the quick rains we have.
Robert Herr
Comment: I just used them and they fit great, they are big and long, I like it because you have more freedom of movement. I see rain pants as an objective need and at short periods of use. Also those protection pads they got are great.
Usually I do not recommend much things, but these are.
Costa Rica
Comment: This is exactly what I needed. I keep them for emergencies so I haven't yet worn them but they do fit over my pants.
Comment: Haven't had to use them yet but the fit is great according to sizing chart. Got small with 36 inch waist and they fit perfectly.
East Aurora, NY
Comment: I read the previous comments and paid attention to what they said and ordered occordingly they fit fine and do a fantastic job of repelling rain and muddy puddles in the road.
Charles Crawley
North East Kansas
Comment: First pair are still in use. I have more than one bike and like to keep needed gear on board each for traveling. These have passed the test several times in driving rain.
Comment: I bought rain pants. They don't let water in. What else can I say? You've earned a cookie for being a good Jafrum selling good waterproof pants. Just want to add that the workers in whatever country these pants came from must think we are a nation of giants as the size XS would fit LeBron James.
Lehighton, PA
Comment: My order arrived in 3 days much to my surprise. When I opened them I was more than pleased with the quality and the fit. A real bonus were the snap on boot straps that prevent "ride-up". I would recommend this product to any one. They were pliable and packable in a small space. A lot of "bang for the buck"!
Mike Lohman, Sr.
Coon Rapids, MN
Comment: After reading the reviews I felt I couldn't go wrong...and these are great. Good value for the price and I was surprised how well they're made. Had to exchange for a smaller size and the legs are still big, but doable. You won't be disappointed in these. Wore them in a deluge in SC and I was kept quite dry.
Karen Marks
Panama City Beach, FL
Comment: Pants were great. Just as described, arrived quickly and I was glad to have them.
Comment: Ordered extra pair size M as expected L with suit might be too large and needed extra. Still fit good though the L was ok too. I am 37 waist 30 inseam.
Comment: These pants have worked very well fit was good kept me dry an warm. At this price ya cant go wrong.
wild bill
Comment: I recently took my bike on a 1800 mile trip and hit numerous rain storms, these held up great. I would highly recommend listening to the others about the sizing, they are absolutely correct!
Comment: Be careful ordering these as they run large. Seem to be adequate for the job and especially for the price.
Comment: Just got my rain pants. WOW they are grea!!! Much heavier than I expected. At only $20.00 they are a real bargain. I could of used an XS but that was may fault. I haven't used them yet but am sure I will be dry.
Comment: Got ky new rain pants and was amazed at the quality. I had a chance to ride in the rain and was completely dry. I should have ordered an XS but can deal with the small. LOVE THEM!!!
Comment: Looked all over for decent rain pants. Haven't used them yet, I assume they are waterproof...They do seems strong and durable, little extra lining by the pipes. I am 6ft, 195lbs not skinny but no belly either. Mediums seems to fit perfect over clothing. (I have a 36-38" waist, 32 inseam). Good product, great price, especially compared to the othr pants I've found on the internet and EBAY
Comment: Good but a little short, maybe the length could be disclosed on the size chart, too. Really nice but the length should be disclosed.
DC area
Comment: These pants are excellent value for the price. The nylon in the seat is a really nice touch. I'm 6'1", 205 lb w/38" waist, and I ordered a Large - fit well, although the inseam could be a bit longer. No leaks riding in rain for the last 2 weeks.
Delta, BC
Comment: Very nice liked alot. I orderd the 1 piece rain suit as well and like it too but could only keed one or the other so i decided to replace our sets which were old and wearing out with the 1 piece RS5001 or i would of kept the pants. Great price
Comment: My husband already had a jacket so just bought the pants. Have not had an occasion to use them yet, but very satisfied with the quality. Only wish is that length of leg and waist band had been included to make knowing size to purcahse easier.
Comment: These are fairly heavy and quality made
Carleton Mi
Comment: The description doesn't say much about the rainpants. Thunder Under, good quality nylon, elastic waste plus a drawstring. Pocket with hook / loop colsure. No slip area on rear seat, zipper and hook / loop closure on legs for easy on/off with boots. Removeable boot strap to prevent ride up and reflective strip on lower outside legs. Inside lower legs have heat protection for hot pipes. I am 5'8" and 195 wear 36 x 30 pants and a large fits quite well with a little wiggle room with chaps. These are not cheap, but rather inexpensive good quality rain gear. Jafrum does it again.

Comment: I received the rain pants timely and tried them on. I didn't try the stirrups at the time, but I wish I had. When I pulled them out in a rainstorm, one of the stirrup snaps was broken. that leg kept riding up and my leg got wet. I called Customer Support and they shipped out a replacement right away. Kudos to the Jafrum team, but they should not have been shipped defective. My bad for not checking all snaps and zippers before I needed them.

Comment: These rain pants are easy to size and fit like you order them. I ride 40 miles one way to work and try to watch the weather for car days. It doen't always work out the way I plan so with these in my saddle bags I am as prepared as possible. Now I need to think about boot covers. Thank you Jafrum

Comment: I expected them to be a little big since I'm wear women's XS/Petite, but these seemed really, really big. I could fit in one leg big. I'm giving them 4 stars because they feel like pretty good quality pants for the price but they're definitely not for ladies on the short side who are a "small medium" or less.
Comment: These pants are very nice and work well. I bought them for a touring trip through western Montana and southern Alberta / BC thinking that they would be disposable for the price. Not at all. The pants are good quality. We hit an extremely bad thunder system with very heavy rain and I never got wet. The sizing chart is correct. I wear 32 waist normally so I ordered xs. The pants fit over my gear with room to spare.
Coeur d'Alene, ID
Comment: Thicker material than my previous rain pants. Kept me dry while riding in heavy rain.
Comment: Tired of riding to work looking like my blue jeans were died two different colors, I finally decided to purchase some rain gear. These pants came quickly, and as luck would have it it rained the next day. I have a one hour ride to work and they kept me perfectly dry the whole way. I have had to use them several times since. Take the advice and get once size up. I did that and mine fit perfectly.

Comment: I refuse to pay big bucks for rain gear. Usually, by the time I need it, I'm already soaked. I need cheap stuff to jam into my bags, just in case. These are really well built. The price was right. They fit my bill perfectly. As far as size, I wear a 34 waist, 31 inseam. I bought both Small and XS figuring I'd sent the other pair back. I'm keeping them both. The XS is pretty good for the most part, but the small is not too huge for me to use. This is just for you to judge your size. They're not bad.

Comment: I got these pants on sale not expecting much, but when I got them I was blown away. The quality was great, the length of the pants were long, and even had snaps that snapped around my boots. Killer pants for the price!
Grapevine, TX
Comment: Nice pants... great price
Cloudcroft, NM
Comment: Rain pants are absolutely waterproof. Very good quality. Wore them in a torrential steady downpour and they kept the rain out. Material does not breath and you sweat on the inside. Only one pocket on right back and you have to pull your rain pants down to get at your pockets on clothes underneath. These pants have an elastic waists band without a string to keep them tight. Tend to slide down and with the legs on the long side cause these pants to buldge in the calf area putting them at risk of touching bike hotspots. Bottom line is these are waterproof and do the job and I am glad I bought them. Would not hesitate to buy another pair at the price I paid.
Nanty Glo, PA
Comment: Excellent rain pants for when you're out riding your motorcycle. They have zippers on the bottom as well as velcro, for a secure fit and you don't have to take off your boots to put the pants on. Non slip seat is great as well. In Florida where the weather changes frequently that is a plus! Thank you for another great product.

Comment: These rain pants are great. They slip on easily over your clothes and boots and are warm and waterproof. They are sized plenty big so believe the sizing chart!
Whitney, TX
Comment: Great rain pants, perfect fit right over the jeans. Keeps water and the cold wind out. Nice quality and you can't find a better price.
Jurgen Fleck
Comment: I tried these pants now a few times on my commute to work in the rain. So fa I am happy with them. Not exceptionally warm, but kept me dry.
Stefan Knep
Comment: I haven't used them yet ...I bought them because other reviews were good. Construction seems fine I will update when I used them in the rain.
Comment: The rain pants were a great value. Plenty of room to fit over clothes. Easy access for boots.
Comment: Long time Jafrum shopper so it's no surprise to me that I'm pleased with these pants. Bought these to replace a pair that served me well, from Jafrum, of course. Definite rugged look and feel. Love the reinforced "rear" area and the heat resistant leg covers. Having the zippers and velcro at the leg bottoms will be a nice change for me. Seems to make it very quick and easy on/off. I went a size above what the chart said, but I like them a bit more roomy(36 waist, but went with a medium). They fit like I wanted. Ordered them Tuesday and here by Friday. Can't beat that. Also bought the boot covers and can't wait to try them out. I look at Jafrum first for anything I need. Come on rain.
Comment: I ordered these because they have every option I would want in an expensive rain pant. I don't need these but couldn't NOT buy them because of the options and the price. I hope I never use them (like every rain item I own). Sorry that I can't give you a review on their wet weather performance. They fit correctly. I am 5'9" and have a 30" inseam, 36' waist (unfortunately) and the Large fits me correctly for a motorcycle rain pant. They went on reasonaby easily over my boots, which are normal lace up casual boots. They look very well made and I can't believe they can sell them for this price. You cannot get a better rain pant for any money IF they keep you dry. You will have to rely on others for that opinion. Shipping was fast and Jafrum has become my favourite mail order company.

Elementary School
As children make their way through the critical first years of school, HCZ is there to ensure that they stay on track in several ways. Like all of HCZ's programs, the elementary school programs provide their services free to the public, which is possible thanks to the generosity of people like you. Please consider making a donation today.
Promise Academy Charter Schools:
Since their creation in 2004 and 2005, Promise Academy I and II elementary schools have done well enough to lead Harvard economist Roland Fryer to conclude that the students had actually closed the black-white achievement gap. The schools have a longer school day and year, and feature wide-ranging, enriching after-school programs. In 2009, the third-graders from both schools were 100 percent on or above grade level in the statewide math program. At PA1 the third-graders were 94 percent on or above grade level in English Language Arts, while the third-graders at PAII were at 86 percent.
For the students in the Zone who are not able to get into our charter schools, our AmeriCorps-supported Peacemakers program supports students during the school day and after school.
Watch a video about Promise Academy I below:
Harlem Peacemakers
Harlem Peacemakers, funded in part by AmeriCorps, trains young people who are committed to making their neighborhoods safe for children and families. The agency has 86 Peacemakers working as teaching assistants in seven public schools, serving 2,500 students. Part of the afterschool program is a chess program: one team finished second and two other teams came in third in the All Nationals for Girls in 2009.

The Fifth Grade Institute
The Fifth Grade Institute is a Peacemakers program. This free after-school effort was designed to benefit fifth graders in Harlem public schools by helping prepare them for Middle School. The central goals of this innovative program are to improve academic performance and prepare fifth graders for the challenges that lie ahead. The Institute has already helped improve the abilities of its enrolled students, helping to make college a reality for them.

Kenya - 'Bird at My Window'
by Kenya Napper Bello
On May 28, 1994, I married my soul mate and the man of my dreams. Less than six months later, I was left a widow by my 27 year old husband's suicide. He took his life by jumping from the 32nd floor of a downtown hotel.
Educated at Morehouse College, groomed by Coca-Cola International, and named a fellow at Johns Hopkins University, this proud black man was on his way to success. There was only one obstacle—a quickly engulfing depression. Oddly enough, the most important thing I learned from this man was the power of believing, but it wasn't just me. All who knew him became a believer because in his eyes, everyone, every life form was deserving of greatness and spiritual freedom. Unfortunately, his illness tainted his view and prevented him from having what he loved most...life.
In 1993, Razak was diagnosed with Manic Depressive Disorder (a mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings). Like many with his condition, he thought he didn't need to take medication. Instead, he believed with an intelligent mind, healthy eating, and regular exercise, he could control this biochemical brain disease. He was highly ambitious, competitive, a perfectionist and simply wanted it all—the power, the money, the material reward, and the pride of overcoming racial barriers. For a moment, he did have it all. He even made the Wall Street Journal after successfully engineering a complex deal between Germany and Coca-Cola International. But whether it was the effect of this disease, or a one track mind to being successful, his world slowly fell apart. He would now enter his second manic episode.
This period was characterized by excessive spending, foolish business investments, insomnia, inflated self-esteem, and racing speech. After forgetting where he parked his car one morning, he frantically reported it stolen. His performance at Coca Cola also suffered as he became severely disorganized and paranoid. Finally, he was admitted into Charter Peachford Hospital where he was placed on lithium, a mood stabilizer. He was also given a thought clarifier called stelazine. After two weeks of hospitalization, and a good prognosis, he returned home to Coca-Cola's letter of termination. While a devastating blow to his ego, he fortunately had been accepted into Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. With characteristic pride, he attempted to put Coca Cola behind him and prepare for school, but, by the time he arrived in Washington, D.C., the depressive phase of his condition had taken affect. Six weeks later, after struggling to concentrate and keep up with his classes, he withdrew and returned to Atlanta.
He now saw himself as a failure—terminated from his job, withdrawing from the school of his dreams, with bills to pay, the stigma of his disease, and an inability to support his family. To further complicate matters, he was not taking the medication. Consequently, his weight dropped, he wasn't eating, and his nights were sleepless. Constantly he stated there was "no way out."
Educated at Morehouse College, groomed by Coca-Cola International, and named a fellow at Johns Hopkins University, this proud black man was on his way to success. There was only one obstacle—a quickly engulfing depression."
Unaware of the depth of his depression, I suggested that he read Andy Young's book, A Way Out of No Way, but it was too late. "I did my best but know wherever I am, Kenya, I will always love you."
Although concerned by his words, I believed with a loving wife and supportive family and friends, a man of his strong character would get through this period. This thinking inevitably proved naive and fatal. Razak needed more than a strong will and a loving hand. He needed medical treatment. Since his death, many have implied that Razak must have been a "weak man." "Couldn't he have just snapped out of it?" Acute depression is a disease no a character flaw. That it was a mental disease makes his death no different than death from terminal cancer or diabetes.
The following is excerpted from Bird At My Window, an unpublished memoir of the love story between Kenya Napper Bello and her husband, Razak:
He had such a pull on me. My soul opened so naturally to his needs, so wanting to love him. But, somehow I couldn't find the way to reach him. Perhaps there were moments of connection but I was never able to sustain those moments into natural ways of intimacy. His awareness of the human necessity to connect was almost void. It was hurtful to love this man so much without having the anchor of connection. But, I learned to live with it always hoping that somewhere in his soul, he would eventually extend his hand and mine would be there waiting.
As my family and I prepared the memorial service, I knew that I would have to do the eulogy, although, no one expected me to. But, I didn't think anyone knew him better than me and felt that I was responsible for putting his death into proper context. There were a lifetime of thoughts in my head, many lessons learned, many moments—and I wanted that beauty, and not Razak's final act, to be remembered. It's amazing because I never concentrated on the suicide. It was too simple and at the same time far too complex.
I stood before hundreds of family and friends on a brisk November day, dressed in a summer white Yoruba gown, holding a twig of baby's breath. As I delivered his eulogy, I felt like I held the truth of life:
"I come here before you today as the wife of Razak Adewale Bello.
The depth of his mind and soul traveled places that few are capable of experiencing. He saw more than just the obvious and worked to translate thisinsight into ways to relieve man of his suffering, of his ignorance, of his self-imposed limitations. Because in his eyes, everyone, every life form was deserving of greatness and spiritual freedom.
We each are here for more than what we own, who we know or how we look. We are here to develop our potential as servants to life and each other to completely honor the true spirit and goodness of our souls..."
As I walked back to my seat, I knew I had not given them the answers to their questions. I had not talked about why he took his life. I had not spoken with anger or sorrow. I had not stood in shame. At that moment, I felt no responsibility to explain the unexplainable...only a soul-wrenching need to preserve what he left behind.
Over the next eleven days, my family and I was awoken by a bird which seemingly slammed its body against the living room window. Although I had no inclination toward humor, I thought that surely even the most mindless bird could see this was a home in mourning. It was so loud in a home that was struggling for peace and healing. For about four days, no one said anything. We had far too many things on our hearts. Anyway, birds flying into windows was not odd during this time of year. However, after almost a week, it dawned on me how perfectly regularly the bird appeared. Even more strange, it appeared at every window of the room I was in. It banged on the window of the laundry room as I was washing clothes. It banged on my bedroom window as I was resting. It banged on the kitchen window as I was eating breakfast. My family and I grew puzzled but beyond that, we wished it would go away. Finally, after almost two weeks of being awakened by this bird, I hysterically screamed "O.K., Razak, we get it. You're free." But from everywhere in the house, I heard "It's not just about Razak's freedom. It's also about your freedom. Live on, Kenya...live on!" That morning, I boarded a plane to Martinique where I would begin my spiritual journey to healing. Several days after I arrived, I called my mother. She said that since the day I left, the bird has not returned.
I now understood that in order to get through this period, I would have to do more than just survive. I would have to live in ways that I had never lived before. Something curious happens when your soul is threatened. You either retreat into irreversible darkness, carefully manage, or shatter every vestige of self-doubt and reconstruct the meaning of life.

Tap Night, Silent Auction Set for Sept. 17 at Horsefly
MONTROSE – To celebrate and raise funds for the Montrose Water Sports Park, River Trail and Field Renovation project planned for Baldridge Park, the Montrose Recreation Foundation is hosting a tap night at the Horsefly Brewing Co. on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 6 p.m.
The event will feature a silent auction, and for every beverage purchased during the tap night, Horsefly Brewing Co. will donate $1 to the Montrose Water Sports Park. The Montrose Recreation Foundation is hoping to raise at least $3,000 for the park. Any amount raised over $3,000 on Tuesday will go toward the foundation's swim-lesson scholarship fund promoting water safety and education for families in need.
The water park application was one of eight proposals selected to receive Great Outdoors Colorado grant funding, it was announced in June. The $259,384 received will go toward building a whitewater park on the Uncompahgre River, where it flows through Baldridge Park, to support kayaking, tubing and swimming – as well as 2,000 feet of concrete trail, 1,900 feet of soft-surface trail and river signage.
"We see next Tuesday as a celebration of winning that grant, and also an opportunity for the community to come together and support it," Montrose Recreation Foundation Board President Lori Sharp said Tuesday.
The river project is a collaboration between the Montrose Recreation District, the City of Montrose, Montrose County, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the Montrose Recreation Foundation, LiveWell Montrose-Olathe, Friends of the River Uncompahgre, Welcome Home Montrose and the Montrose Community Foundation. The Montrose Recreation Foundation pledged to raise $3,000 from the community as a part of the grant application.
"We were proud to be a partner in helping the Water Sports Park become a reality for our community," Sharp said. "The project will provide upgrades to Baldridge Park, as well as creating a Water Sports Park that will benefit the community as users and as a magnet for tourism.
"We have this fabulous river and now we are going to have fabulous access to the river and it will put it in the hands of so many more people," Sharp said, going on to observe that Montrose citizens selected a whitewater park and river trails as their highest-priority projects during the Uncompahgre Riverway Master Plan process. Two additional citizen surveys show widespread support for the other project components, which include a sensory playground, fitness stations, picnic tables and baseball/softball field upgrades at the Ute/McNeil Fields. These improvements will enhance safety for baseball/softball participants and provide new amenities for other park users. The project is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2015.
